Description
Chopard is deploying the expertise developed with its L.U.C Full Strike minute repeater on a new generation of luxury watches with a striking mechanism. The L.U.C Strike One watch chimes at the passing of each hour, on a Chopard-patented monobloc sapphire gong. Equipped with the new L.U.C 96.32-L movement, this refined 40 mm-diameter timepiece in ethical 18-carat rose gold is chronometer-certified and bears the Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark. Its solid gold ruthenium grey dial is hand-guilloché with a honeycomb motif. With its crown-integrated pusher, its slender 9.86 mm size and its crystal-clear sound, the L.U.C Strike One model endows the passing of time with an elegantly resonant dimension.

Caliber 96.32-L features the typical L.U.C architecture, with automatic winding by means of a micro-rotor in engraved ethical 22-carat gold. Chopard Twin technology with its two barrels ensures a 65-hour power reserve that has remained unchanged from that of the the L.U.C base calibers, even when the striking mode is activated. This stability demonstrates the quality of Chopard's developments and their management of the energy issue.
